#Chromium (and #Chrome) begins phasing-out Manifest v2.

This means, among other things, that uBlock Origin is about to be disabled in Chrome. Google will choose a different extension to recommend but it can not be as effective as #uBlock Origin.

Following #Google's example, may I instead recommend you switch to #Firefox.

Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.

Happy browsing.

Just to recap, the guy who can’t shut up about how the 2020 election he lost was rigged just was convicted of rigging the 2016 election he won.

As always, try to live your life in such a way that most of the planet doesn’t erupt in joy at your criminal conviction.

FYI, such devices will be illegal to sell within the EU soon. Hopefully Iceland can adopt similar legislation.

"We will not raise the rate of income tax, VAT or National Insurance." promised Bozo and the Tories in 2019. And then they did. Today, they've promised that again. https://bylinetimes.com/2022/04/06/boris-johnson-conservative-broken-manifesto-promises-2019/

Once again entered the UK without being arrested, so the 2024 "Matthew doesn't get arrested" challenge is off to a great start

@alexanderhay oh look, it's exactly what everyone said would happen.

I'm reluctantly letting go of my beautiful iMac g4, with its maxed out ram and ssd. It's a lovely machine and I would really like for it to go a good home, so if any UK based macthusiasts are interested and willing to pop to Dorset to pick it up, please take a look below:
